    2:36 AM - By 

    This is a fam­i­ly recipe hand­ed down from my great grand­moth­er, known as Memaw. She died not long after I was born in 1993 but her cook­ing style and recipes have been passed down through the gen­er­a­tion and now I am shar­ing with you. I have nev­er seen this par­tic­u­lar recipe writ­ten down on paper and it has been made for years only by mem­o­ry. These are usu­al­ly the best ones, amiright?

    Banana Bread with Maple Syrup

    4:32 PM - By 

    Bak­ing goods for break­fast seems to be a trend around here at the home­stead. A few weeks ago I made AMISH CINNAMON SWIRL BREAD and this morn­ing we shared a warm loaf of Clas­sic Banana Bread (with a twist). I am excit­ed to share this recipe for your to enjoy in your kitchens. This is a recipes I have used for years but with a sur­pris­ing twist. We are omit­ing the Pure Vanil­la Extract and replac­ing it with Maple Syrup. Yep…syrup! This was an acci­den­tal dis­cov­ery actu­al­ly. I set out to make the bread the tra­di­tion­al way and found out…

    Amish Cinnamon Swirl Bread

    5:21 PM - By 

    I made this recipe for the first time this morn­ing. Sun­day’s are typ­i­cal­ly crazy in our house. Rush­ing for show­ers and get­ting ready for church. Due to the cur­rent quar­an­tine we watched church from home and kept our social dis­tance but y’all, can I just say, no amount of social dis­tance should keep you from shar­ing this amaz­ing melt in your mouth recipe with your fam­i­ly and friends.  Speak­ing of fam­i­ly, I am hap­py to have had my great grand­moth­ers loaf pans hand­ed down to me. Every­time I use them I can’t help but won­der what all she made with…

    Simple Snowball Butter Cookies

    8:38 AM - By 

    These lit­tle snow­ball but­ter cook­ies will lit­er­al­ly melt in your mouth. They are soft, dust­ed in a coat of pow­dered sug­ar and are just the right blend of sweet and buttery. Their tex­ture is real­ly hard to com­pare to oth­er hol­i­day cook­ies, but what I can say is, if you like a clas­sic hol­i­day but­ter cook­ie then you will LOVE these snow­ball cook­ies. My hub­by and kid­dos could hard­ly keep their lit­tle hands out of them. They are a bit messy to eat but I like to think that just adds to the enjoy­ment. See­ing the lit­tle crumb trails and…

    Old-Fashioned Homemaking and Simple DIY Living

    9:53 PM - By 

    Old-fash­ioned home­mak­ing and sim­ple DIY Liv­ing isn’t all about being a stay at home mom, although, that cer­tain­ly is a big part of my per­son­al expe­ri­ence. Rather is is about embrac­ing a slow­er paced and inten­tion­al­ly sim­ple lifestyle. Back in the day this type of lifestyle was the stan­dard way of liv­ing. Today, no so much. I am on a mis­sion to help women embrace this lifestyle and to encour­age them that it is pos­si­ble in today’s world. Women of all ages should feel con­fi­dent in nutur­ing their home and spaces in a way that feels wholesome.  “I am begin­ning…

There are ways to incor­po­rate do it your self projects in every space in your home and this is a lifestyle that the ear­li­er gen­er­a­tions knew all to well.  There is both a chal­lenge and ful­fill­ment in doing things your­self and I think a small part of each of us would like to revis­it those old fash­ioned ways for a moment. Break in your new kitchen uten­sils with this mouth water­ing MAPLE BANANA BREAD made from scratch. No starter needed! With that in mind, I…

    A Fresh Farmhouse Tablescape

    2:46 AM - By 

    Tablescapes are becom­ing one of my very favorite things to cre­ate in my home. I real­ly like for them to non-tra­di­tion­al in a way. Like most of my decor, I enjoy shop­ping my own home for items that I can bring togeth­er for a cohe­sive look or theme with­out going out and buy­ing a bunch of new decor. I mean, if it’s alreayd in your home it is like­ly gonna already fit into your over­all theme. In addi­tion to not want­i­ng to spend a ton, I want­ed to cre­ate a tablescape that would wear well for an every day fresh…
